[Experiment 2] Real aggregate data showing a massive surge in views and likes after changing the title because an AI pointed out it sounded 'pretentious'

[Experiment] Real PV and like trends from posting every day for 7 days without interacting with anyone

The verification item for this time is what I touched upon in the previous article. This will be a verification outside of SNS.

・Trying to 'like' posts

(I liked them after properly reading the content)
The tag used for verification is "#FirstNote".
I gave 12 likes.
(Please ignore the last three, as those were likes returned to me)

And, about a day later...

The results didn't change at all...!!

The number of likes on the article from two days ago did not increase.
Likes didn't start appearing on my self-introduction either.

Even though I read them properly, it was a worldly result that wasn't worth the time.

・Trying to change the title.

I have a good title decided, but it seems people are hesitant to click it

Since I was pointed out by the two major AI giants, I decided to experiment.

So, I made the following corrections.

I created and posted three articles with revisions like this.
I am aggregating data from about two days later.

This is the first time I've had 2 initial likes on an article other than my self-introduction and verification posts...!!

It is clearly growing compared to other articles, but the third article has too few views... It is clearly a flop if it's at the same level as the self-introduction article pinned to my profile.

The titles and eye-catching images are as follows.

The third title was written with search in mind, but it seems to have become just a mediocre article. The following reasons are likely.

So, I tried changing the title back while still keeping search in mind.

And, after about two days passed...

Wow! The results showed more views than my self-introduction article or previous articles...!!

Updating titles with search in mind seems effective for increasing views!

I really couldn't keep going with just the initial 2 views...

(Note: The 3rd article still has 0 likes. The 2nd article gained 2 more likes.)

General Review

The like verification was for "#MyFirstNote", so as a beginner user who didn't know left from right, maybe I shouldn't have expected much of a reaction.

However, I think even experienced people tend to overlook this, so this time I deliberately focused on beginner users.

Some might think that even if you don't get likes, it's a win if you can earn views, but I think it's more time-efficient to focus on searchability and clickability than to do that.

I did exactly as the AI told me, but
in this era where information is overflowing, we have reached a stage where
if the title doesn't make people feel like it's about them, it won't even get clicked.It seems.

That's just for amateurs like me who have no influence or track record.
If you are famous or have a track record somewhere, you could probably compete on quality content alone.

Planned measures for next time (including previous unfulfilled plans)

・Aim for traffic from other SNS
I have a feeling that if I did SNS, the number of views would increase, but I can't start because I'm afraid I'll get lost if my direction isn't firmly established...
My verification article has the most views, so is SNS the only way to compete otherwise...!? (I just want to focus on creating articles)

I don't use SNS myself, so honestly, I don't want to start using it if I can help it, haha.

・Target trending content or major tags on weekdays.
I was checking every day, trying to release articles that would appear at the top when people weren't logged in.
Things like trending movies or the World Cup, but the probability of content I thought I could write about actually coming to me was zero.

I stopped because it was exhausting to judge whether I could write something every time I opened Note. The biggest factor was realizing that if I let myself be swayed by this randomness, I wouldn't be able to continue writing articles.

Honestly, I decided I didn't need to think about tags myself, so I started having Gemini or similar tools read the full text of the finished article and decide on the tags to some extent.

・Pros and cons of eye-catching images
I plan to verify this next time.
Until now, I've been using free images, so I'll try out what it's like to use eye-catching images with only text.

If you found this helpful, please give it a like!
